STAMP with TRISH - inkings from the craft room

Friday, February 27, 2015

This clean and simple design introduced his class to a new technique: inking stamps with markers. Ink, huff, stamp, assemble, done -- the kind of simplicity many stampers enjoy in their card making.

Added bonus: the participants were delighted that they didn't have to run to a big box store and hunt through racks of mass-produced Valentines, but could proudly say to their honey, "I made this for you". Proud moments for all.

My husband Lou is not only my supporting demonstrator, he is a stamper in his own right. Recently, he started offering a monthly class for men only. Over the next few days, I will be sharing some of his newest cards.

This is an updated version of a card Lou CASEd a while back from "Stampin' Success", a magazine for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.

Don't you just love the mix of textures, colors and shapes?
Sophisticated enough for an experienced stamper, yet simple enough for the neophyte. This versatile card design is perfect for a wide variety of occasions and recipients.

What fun it is to take some basic crafting supplies, add a little love, a personal message, and VOILA! a card to bring a smile and a hug to someone I love.
